COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
A busy Session Held by the Board
Yesterday.

The board met ut the county clerks
office yesterday. all members being pre-
sent.
A petition was presented asking for a
change in the county road leading from
the Fort Laramie military reservation to
the eastern boundary of the territory fol-
lowing the Platte river. The new road
will follow almost parallel with the old
one, varying from a half to three. quarters
of a mile to the northward, the entire road
thus being altered. The viewers. who
will meet at Fort Laramie on the l4th inst,
are John Ryan, }. s. FAINT and II. G.
Newcomb.
w. n. Hunt was reappointed as fish
commissioner of Laramie county.
The clerk was instructed to address a
communication to the commanding officer
at Fort Laramie. asking him to repair the
government bridge crossing the Platte
river at the county's expense. The bridge
is at present in bad condition, and as it is
much used by the people in that vicinity,
the board thought that it should be re-
paired, and as the government has failed
to do it, the county will.
1t was ordered that the salaries of the
two stock inspectors in this county be
placed at 1925 and 800 each respectively,
the officers to be appointed upon the re-
commentator of the stock association.
A number of road matters were then
discussed.
The chairman of the board, II. b.
Kelly, was authorized to procure and
locate public scales, as provided by law.
The report of the treasurer and clerk on
licenses issued during the month of JAN
uary was examined and found correct.
The clerk was instructed to advertise
for proposals for the building OF three
wooden bridges, one across the Chug-
water one mile north of Bordeaux; one
across the same creek 300 yards north of
Bordeaux, and one to cross Hunton
creek, POO yards north of Bordeaux.
WIN. Lane was appointed constable in
the Lusk district; DR.. NJ. G. Martin was
appointed Justice of the peace in the same
district.
The board then adjourned until Feb.
l4th.

Charles Ayres, the young man who ac-
cidentally shot himself while on his way
to this city last week, is said now to be in
a precarious condition. The ball entered
his right arm above the elbow, and rang
ing upward toward the shoulder, broke
his arm. His companions then bound
the wound up, and in doing so bound it
too tightly. Then, to make matters
worse, he caught cold in the wound, and
after arriving in this city modification set
in. DIR. Marston is attending to the
wounded man. 1t was thought yesterday
that the arm would have to be amputated,
but as the young man seems to grow
mach worse, and seems likely to die al
most at any moment, the operation was
deferred. He is at present lying in a
room in the Wyoming block in this city.

While several boys were rumaging
yesterday around the ruins ofthe old house
on Park avenue, between Sixteenth and

Definite and reliable reports in regard
to the late accident on the Union Pacific
near Castle Rock, in which Engineer
Murphy lest his life, have at last reached
here.
There was no collision whatever. Near
Castle Rock is a sharp curve. Around
this curve the passenger train was going
at lightning speed, making up lost time.
At the western end ofthe curve is a switch.
As the flying engine struck the connect

main line, the rail spread, and the engine,
followed by the baggage and mail cars,
jumped the track.
Engineer Murphy was instantly killed,

THE FRATERNITIES.
The state Encnmnmsnt.

The gathering of the state depart
ment of the grand army of the republic
here in January will be notable af-
fair. 1t has been many years since a
larger gathering of representative men
have met in this county. Governor
Ormsbee and his staff as well as a large
portion of the prominent men of the
state will be present. From outside
the state Commander in chief John p.
Rea and staff of Minneapolis and Sem
iOr-vice- commander Nelson of ST..
Louis will also be here. No entertain
ment at the homes of the people here
is expected as each delegate cares for
himself and the hotels are likely to be
crowded to their utmost capacity. 1t
has been customary, however, to give
the visiting delegates a banquet dur
ing the state meeting. This will cost
money. Some effort will be made to
raise sum sufficient to furnish a ban
quet that will be creditable to the
place. 1t is hoped when the effort is
made that the people will respond
cheerfully and literally. AS soon as
plans are perfected announcements
will be made concerning details.

The South Church Fair.

The twO-days fair conducted by the
ladies of the South church came to a
successful close Friday evening. The
oldest inhabitant cannot remember
when the town hall in which the fair
was held has presented so attractive
an appearance with its booths and
decorations. The display of fancy
goods was also very extensive and
elaborate. The main attraction of the
fair was the Japanese wedding, which
was given once before some time ago
in the church vestries. The stage pre-
sented an oriental scene of the most
gorgeous pattern, and the silent cere-
mOny was performed before a large
audience Ofinterested spectators. The
chief actors were: Bride, Eva Burke ;
groom, Jason Cady butterfly, Mabel
Fairbanks; groOm's mother, Thena
Morrill, grOOm's father, Luther Jewett;
brides father, Thomas Waterman ;
brides mother, Flora Simpson, and a
long retinue of bridesmaids and
groOmsmen. The society realized over
5000 from the fair which will be used
i'm improvements in and about the
South church edifice, improvements
that have long been contemplated.

songs were of the old time sort, Messrs.

"In silent mead" at the beginnin G
and, with the help of Mr.. May, $50

solo by Mr.. May, ''Twenty years ago; )"
Duet, "LarbOard WATCH" by Tyler
and Silsby "a solo by c. S. COnant,
"Swordl of Bunker HILL" which was
uproariously encored, and another solo,
"Jamie's on the stormy sea-" by Mr..
Silsby, to whom is due the credit of the
arrangement of the program. b. Frank
Harris rendered piano selection and
j. A. Goodrich two selections on the
violin, the second in response to an
encore. In the enforced absence of
Mr.. Stafford, Miss Ivah Dunklee recit-
ed two humorous selections, which
were applauded. Mr.. Eddy presided
at the piano. Other entertainments in

A Rare Sight.

1t was very rare and beautiful
sight Wednesday morning when five
bright planets we're to be seen at once
and the moon on its way along the
line at about its third quarter. Saturn,
Mars, Venus, Jupiter and, rarest of all
to be seen, Mercury, were all in sight
in spite of a few clouds. In the tele-
scope Saturn still shows it's rings plain
ly, Jupiter's four moons were in two
pairs like two double stars, and Venus
now is duplicate of the moon in min
iature being very near its greatest
elOngation and i'll the phase of the
quarter. Some astronomers even have
never been favored with the sight of
Mercury. Wednesday morning it rose
few moments after Jupiter, a little
before six o'clock and was very bright
and beautiful, between Mars and Ju-
piter in brightness. The sight was en-
joyed only few moments as it soon
became cloudy. Quite a number of
the academy astronomy class were out
to take advantage of it with the use of
Prof. Henry Fairbanks's fine telescope.

Zero Weather at the Poor Farm.

The first zero weather of the season
came last week. The towns poor at
the poor farm lived through it as they
have lived through much worse sea-
sons as to severity and extent. Up to
that time nothing of any consequence
had been done toward the better warm :
ing of the house. AS the expense
seems to he the great bugbear in the
case, the overseer of the poor may find
some help out of his dilemma by call
ing upon Charles S. Hastings, one OF
st. Johnsbury's public spirited and
large hearted citizens, who has wood
furnace that he is willing to present to
the town free gratis if the authorities
will see that it is properly set up in
the aims house. If the needed i'm
provements seem likely to cost too
much money or too many votes, it is
proposed that IL subscription be taken
up to pay the expenses of setting the
furnace which Mr.. Hastings so gener-
Ously offers to donate the town.

Skating Accidents.

Six boys while skating on Ely's pond
yesterday broke through the ice near
the dam. Five of the number manag-
ed to get out alone. The sixth, Eddie
Chandler, sank to his neck and would
have been carried under the ice had
not Fred COnley, one of the skating
party, come to his aid with hockey
stick and pulled him out. The water
was deep where the accident occurred
and it is a wonder that no lives were
lost. We understand that two village
boys broke through the ice on the Pas
sumpsic a few days ago, but escaped
with ducking. The boys laugh at
these affairs as of no very serious cOnse-
quence, but eight escapes within seven
DAYS would seem to promise drown
ing before the winter is over. A man
who does business near the river says
that nothing will stop the carelessness
of the boys until the parents take hold
of the matter.
